Hawaiian Style Garlic Shrimp

You’ll love every single bite of this Hawaiian Style Garlic Shrimp. It’s packed with flavor and couldn’t be easier to make!

Last year in June we took a trip to Maui with our close friends. You can read all about it –> HERE. We had the time of our lives and ate the most incredible food ever!! It definitely had me wishing we were going again this summer, but unfortunately with everything we’ve had going on the last couple months we just couldn’t. Mexico was on our minds too but we couldn’t do that either. Bummer for sure.

So I thought since I couldn’t go on an amazing Hawaiian vacation this summer I would just bring Hawaii to our dinner table! 😀 I found this incredible HAWAIIAN STYLE GARLIC SHRIMP off my good buddy Alyssa’s blog The Recipe Critic. Her recipes never disappoint and this one didn’t either. This shrimp was packed with buttery, garlic flavor and took me right back to the Lahaina shore. We loved every single bite!

I honestly don’t make shrimp too often at our house, but when I do I know which recipe I’ll make from now on. This, and of course my Honey Lime Shrimp. I served this one with a side of rice and broccoli and we ate like happy campers. Minus the camping. haha! 😉
